trateS THIS lCea. An O!Q lauy WHO was
telling her troubles to a friend and saying
she was so tired, there was so much to do
| it seemed to her she would never have
any rest, when her friend to comfort her,
said Never mind. my sister, this weari-
some life will not last always, there will be
rest in the grave to which the other re-
piled !" don't know, it would not sur
prise me if the day after | was buried, it
would be the resurrection and l would
| have to get right up; it would just be my
| luck and she really believed the resur-
rection would be called for her annoyance.
Don't fret and worry mothers over the
| cares of life, make all the sunshine in your
homes you can, take time from your daily
labors to give some time each day or even
| ing and gather your children around you
| and make the hour an enjoyment for them
and yourself-4Hanta Constitution.
THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SINGLE.
| There is a phase of woman's rights
| which seems to escape the consideration it
| deserves, and that is the right of a young
| woman to remain single if She desires to do
SO. The men do not challenge this right.
| 1t is her own sex which, urged by variety
of very subtle reasons, conspires to put a
sort of stigma on women who have no in
| cIipation 10 matrimony, and by the oppro
! brious epithet of "old maid force discern
| ing and fastidiOus women into unsuitable
and unhappy marriages. A man is not
| abused for not taking a partner in business,
nor does he suffer reproach because he fails
| to marry A woman ought not by social
pressure be urged into marriage when she
| has no desire that way, or has at least found
no man to whom her Judgment and affec-
tons alike incline. Certainly not to marry
is better than to marry badly, and if it were
! not for the fuss womanSiDd makes over
the event, as if it were the one really need
full affair, there would be fewer foolish
unions of the kind.
| A young woman displays first rate sense
| and fine character in refusing to marry I'M
| less all the conditions are satisfactory, and
| she has abundant reason 10 be satisfied with
| her course when she looks around and
notes the ill-assorted people who find the
marriage institution daily yoke that
grows no easier with the wearing. Sup
! pose, then, the eloquent chatterers about
| the rights of women take this matter in
| hand. drop the silly old maid sheer and
affirm the wisdom of not marrying from
mere dictum on the subject. The Sunday
issue of a New York daily contains bud
| get of communications purporting to come
| from young men and women on the theme
! of matrimony. It seems to be taken for
|
| perative to get married somehow. That is
an idea that has done harm to many
women, and the women themselves have
kept it alive and active. 1t needs a
thorough oyerhauling and reyision.-PHtS-

| AMMONIA FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
It is hard to imagine a house running
| smoothly without household ammonia. 1t
is very cheap and for cleansing purposes it
| is iuyalable. A little of it soitens the water
! and makes ii easier to wash blankets it
| takes out grease, removes stains from paint
! and carpets, cleans brushes brightens Jew
elry and all metals. Always dilute it well
with water.
Aromatic ammonia is a most useful
household remedy. Half of teaspoonful
| taken in half a tumbler of water is far bet
| ter for faintness than alcoholic stinlulants.
| In the temperance hospital in London ii is
used with the best results. 1t was freely
used by Lieutenant Greely's Arctic party
| for keeping up circulation. Ii is relief in
| nervousness. headache and heart disturb
ances. | have seen it restore a person
! Frustrated by the fumes of gas, and the re-
| covery was without bad after effects. As
| in the case of all home dosing, aromatic
| ammonia should be used sparingly. and
! kept out OF the oaby S eyes. The Examiner
WHEN GIRLS LOOK SERIOUSLY on LIFE.
When the girls begin to look seriously on
| life ana express desire To become efficient
| members of society there is brighter hope
I for the future. They do tell us that our
| girls are too giddy So they are, as a rule,
! but there are some who are just giddy
enough. By the way, did it ever occur TO
| you that little giddiueSs on the part of
a young lady tends to make her attractive
Too much of it is bad very bad, but just
enough. All there's the rub. How much
is just enough? Who can tell? You do
not ike the sedate poky, prim, straight
backed girl half as well as the one who is
] fretted by tight clothes annoyed with book
| talk and bored by formal etiquette. You
prefer freedom of manner and glibness of
tongue, even if the grammar is little OIL
ami the conversation is not of the most
! edifying type To be candid about it, the
men are responsible for much of the giddi-
ness for which the girls are blamed.-PdtS-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
In washing bedsteads use strong brine or
! hot alum water.
Wash grained woods with cold tea, wipe
dry ana rub with linseed oil.
Cayenne pepper blown where mice or
rats congregate drives them away.
Before trimming rubber dip the knife in
| water and it will cut more readily.
A little carbolic acid put into your glue
or paste-pot will keep the contents sweet
for long time.
If new broom be immersed in boiling
water until it is quite cold, and then thor
oughly dried in the air. it will be far more
pleasant to use and will last much longer
Frequent moistening of the broom is con-
ducive to its usefulness and also to the
carpets.-New York Commercial Adcertiser.
An English inventor claims to save one
third of the time and 10 per cent. of loss in
the cooking of joints of meat, by thrusting
into them metallic conductors to insure
their simultaneous heating throughout,
these conductors being copper blades with
globular heads of iron. Flesh is very bad
conductor of heat, and without this devise
the outside of the meat is greatly over
cooked with much waste of nutritious
juices, before the inside is well done.
